BERLIN, July 16.-The tension of feeling
toward France has relaxed since the French
fete day has passed without the occurrence
of any anti-German demonstrations. The
accounts in the German papers of the Incl
dent in Paris Thursday represent that the
repression of the popular outburst was
solely accomplished by the presence of such
masses of troops all along the route
travelled by President Grevy and his
Ministers on their way to the review at
Long Champs as had never been seen in
Paris since the days of the empire, and the
papers seek to prove that the populace were
in reality uuable to make demonstration,
and that the extraordinary precautions
taken by the government, although success
ful i'll paralyzing the Chauvinists, had given

MUST BE KEPT UP.
The return to the German. people of
calmer mood toward France can be assured,
however, only by a cessation of the system
attic persecution of German residents in
French towns, yet the tendency seems all
the other way. The Chauvinist press con-
tinues to publish the names and addresses of
Germans who have places of business
in France, and warns members of the Pa
triotic League not to have any dealings with
them. The Deutschenhetze says that minor
German employees are being hunted out of
their places at the rate of hundreds weekly,
| and it is estimated that Germans hold
| ing situations in France, who last year
numbered 81 900 have been decreased one
half within the past six months. Count Won
Munster, the German Ambassador at Paris.
is having constant stream of appeals for
help against outrages which are being per-
| petrated upon Germans.
MOSTLY woRKAEN.
The sufferers in the main are workmen
who find employment in the manufacturing
| centres of France Those appeals were
made the subject of an oral diplomatic rep
resentation, to NJ. Flourens, Foreign Minis
| ter, by Count Won Munster on Wednesday
last. The Count has followed his oral rep
resentation with written re-
| Minister, NJ. Flourens, will have to make a
written reply. Count Won Munster has also
called the attention of Minister Flourens to
| the practice of the press in denouncing by
name citizens of Germany who are not in
! public but residing privately in France, and
against whom mobs are invited to make at
tacks.
THE BOULANGER ORGAN.
M. Flourens is also asked if his French
| government is powerless to deal with the or
gan of the Boulangists, LIE Defense Nation
| ale, which declared that the German
| functionaries i'll France were all
spies: that the Central nest of
| the reptiles was the German embas-
sy, and that Count Won Munster himself
was the director of the spy administration.
NJ Flourens has made a verbal promise to
interfere and to use every power of the gov
| ernment to prevent assaults on Germans in
| the future. Since Count Won Munster made
| the remonstranceS against the ill-treatment
of his countrymen the German consulates
at Bordeaux and Rouen report street at
tacks upon Germans in those cities, and the
| Bordeaux Consul complains that the win
| dows of his residence have been smashed.
| The Kreuz Zejtung, the TdgebLGH, the
North German Gazette, and the Cologne
| Gazette, papers of every party, concur in
the opinion that it is absolutely necessary
| for the French government to interpoSe res
olutely to stop German batting"
RUssIA's SECURITIES
| The chief topic of interest in Berlin, after
| the French situation, is the unceaSing de-
preston of Russian stocks. The fact is now
recognized by both political and financial
| circles that the movement is not led by
! speculators, but has definite official inspira-
ton, AUD is part of the government cam
paign Tof retaliation against Russin
| for the anti-German economic policy. Dur
ing the last fortnight the fall in Russian
securities of all issues averaged fully per
| cent.
RUSSIA TO THE RESCUE.
The fall would have been even greater
but for receipts of some ''stop" orders and
orders to buy. These combined for a time
to stay the decline Since Monday large
purchases have been made daily by the
Russian government. These purchases,
however, have proved insufficient
| to check the sales, and even to-day,
when the Bourse was at its dullest investors
! combined TO unload their Russian holdings
| in large quantities, causing a still further
decline in prices The champions of Russian
securities acknowledge themselves beaten,
and accept the situation with the best grace
possible. The dealers are convinced that
| the sales of these Russian securities will not
cease until they fall beneath even their pres
ent nominal value, when London and Paris
will show readiness to absorb them.
